As I gear up for my Web Series Workshop in New York City on 10-10-10, I’ve been looking through some of the footage that Perry and Sandra Payne shot of our first one. I’ll be posting a few videos to share some of my awesomeness with the world…
I am really excited though. Feel free to let people know in the NYC area that I’ll...

I’m on a business trip in Detroit right now. And as everyone knows the key to a successful business trip is collar stays. And I forgot mine at home. With no time to spare and no stores open before my first meeting I sprung into action.
I scanned my hotel room for options and material. Nothing….
Coffee Stirs, Straws, business cards, a dime, and hotel room key are all items...

“White Collar Brawler” is a webseries by friends/classmates Kai and Nate. It looks great, and I’m excited for them. It’ll be interesting to see how this strong docuseries format matures — white collar guys learning how to box? Could make a great transition to TV, but is there something uniquely webby about it?

According to this article, 25,000 people are being polled for the ratings. That’s 1/4 of 1% of the 100,000,000 TV Households.
That’s not an accurate sampling. It sounds like a joke. (via NewTeeVee)
Open Letter to Web Show Creators
The blip.tv LA Housewarming party last night was an absolutely incredible time and I am so thankful to all who were able to come and share that with us. I had a giant grin on my face the entire night, and I couldn’t shake it. I didn’t want to.
While the overwhelming sense of joy i carried throughout the night was partly due to the celebration blip.tv’s expansion to the west...

Most visitors to LA get starstruck when the see an actor or a singer. Evan gets starstruck when he meets his favorite tumblrs. I think he may have shrieked (a little) when i introduced him to spytap.
Dear Santa Monica High School Marching Band:
Yesterday was a long day. I had four awesome and exhausting meetings followed by a team dinner with founders and blip.tv investors… which turned into fireside cocktails on the Loews patio until after 2am. I walked back to the Sheraton Delfina, where I was staying… and I thought i could sleep in this morning, but you guys started practicing at 7am.
I cursed you. But after...

mcdavis:
Unlike Ping, Last.fm is actually a useful music based network. So, instead of posting Tumblrcrushes, I’m doing a Last.fm “crush” list based on some of those that are of 99% or greater compatibility match to my account (there’s oddly quite a few). This percentage is given by Last.fm in the form of a musical compatibility score (as seen below).
Here are the people that are most...
